About Sainik Schools
Sainik Schools are one of the best schools in India that follow the CBSE pattern. These are fully residential co-educational schools. The Sainik School Society, an autonomous organization under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, runs and manages these schools. At present, there are 33 Sainik Schools operational in India. Recently, the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, has approved 21 new Sainik Schools across various states of India. In this post, we throw light on the number of seats available in various Sainik Schools for both classes 6 and 9 for the academic session 2023-24.
10 new approved Sainik Schools started operating in May 2022. For the academic session 2023-24, 18 of 21 newly approved Sainik Schools will take admission on the basis of AISSEE 2023. Hence, we can say that there is an increase in opportunities for kids dreaming of studying in Sainik Schools and ultimately serving the country as Officers in the Indian Armed Forces.
Sainik Schools are one of the most prestigious educational institutions in India. These schools train kids to join as officers in Indian Armed Forces. They academically, physically, mentally, and emotionally prepare and groom kids so that they are ready to become officers in Indian Defence Forces – Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Why Sainik School?
Sainik Schools maintain the highest standard of education. Apart from education, they mentally, physically, and emotionally prepare students to join as officers in the Armed Forces. They make students ready to face all the challenges in life. That’s the reason it is a strong desire for students to study in Sainik Schools.
Seats in Sainik School 2023-24
Every year in January, the National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts an entrance test for admission to Sainik Schools in classes 6 and 9. Before filling online application, it is in the best interest to know the number of seats available in various Sainik Schools in classes 6 and 9 and also the reservation policy adopted.
Reservation Policy
67% of the seats are reserved for candidates domiciled in the State/ UT where the Sainik School is located. 33% of the seats are reserved for candidates from Other States and Union Territories (UT). Within each Category of Home State/ UT and Other States/ UT quota, seats are reserved on the following norms:
a) 15% of the seats are reserved for the Scheduled Caste (SC) category
b) 7.5% for the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category and
c) 27% for the Other Backward Classes category belonging to the Non-Creamy layer (OBCNCL) as per the central list.
Hence, 49.50% of the seats in Sainik School are reserved on the basis of the above-mentioned norms. Out of the remaining 50.50% of the seats in the Home State/ UT and Other States/ UT quota, 25% of the seats are reserved for the wards of defence (Serving personnel of Indian Army/Indian Airforce/ Indian Navy) personnel and ex-servicemen.
In the “Other States/ UT” quota, seats will be allotted in each category as per merit, subject to a maximum limit of 25% of vacancies in the category for any State or Union Territory. For example,
if there are 10 seats in the Other States/UT General Category, not more than 3 seats will be allotted to any one State, i.e. 25% of 10 or 2.5 rounded off to 3.
In Class VI of each Sainik School, 10% of the total vacancies or 10 seats, whichever is more, are reserved for girls.
